Lebanese MPs fail for the fifth time to elect a president

BEIRUT: Lebanon’s divided parliament failed on Thursday to elect a new president for the fifth time, with the post vacant since the mandate of Michel Aoun expired last month. A new session will be held next Thursday, Nov. 17. Independent Michel Moawad was the frontrunner in the 128-seat parliament with 44 votes on Thursday, still far short of the two-thirds majority — or 86
